• The weekend

  Nice, busy, fun, family, summer is in full swing at our house.

   

  Friday:  

  Nikki made dinner....we ate our yummy grilled chix tacos outside.

  We had ice cream.

  We all sat outside and relaxed a bit.

  The girls played in the pool.

   

  

  Bob got the fishing poles out and the girls practiced casting a bit.

  

  

  Jake and Aaron went bowling. Then to the show.

  We watched the Tigers game, even though it was very painful to watch, ouch.  That last inning was brutal.

  Bob and I stayed up late to watch the new Sherlock Holmes movie w/ Rosie.

  Alli and Abby camped out on Nat and Nik's floor, as they do every Friday night to watch I Love Lucy.

   

  Saturday:

  Had a nice visit w/ my brother and 2 nephews......they were bringing us the chickens they had raised and then had processed for us....can't wait to try them. 

  Jake and Aaron took Rosie, Alli and Abby bowling.

  I love this pic of Rosie.

   

  

  Bob and Nikki got some groceries.

  More swimming in the pool.

  Then home for the delicious bbq chicken pizzas that Nat and Nik made for supper. 

  

  Out again to buy fishing licenses..

  And then off for some fishing.

  Bob, Aaron and Jake took the younger 3 girls.

  They didn't catch "the big one" but had fun anyways.

   

   

  

   

  

   

  

   

  Sunday:

  Church

  Grilled Bacon Cheeseburgers for Bob's Father's Day Lunch.

  Yogurt Pie for dessert.....the girls made 4 different flavors....orange, raspberry, lime and strawberry....

  They were all delicious.

  Father's Day gifts.

  Baseball tickets to a Lansing Lugnuts minor league baseball game next Saturday.

  And jeans. 

   

  Watched some of the Nascar race. Was soooo happy Jr. ended up winning.  Finally!!!!!!!!

  I cut Abby's hair.  Short. Very short. Pics coming soon. She looks cute and loves it. Whew!

  More swimming.

  Nat and Nikki tore out the carpet in their bedroom.

  We've been working on getting all the carpet out of the house for a couple weeks now.

  It's old and gross...and we just can't live with it anymore. Not a fun process, but needs to be done.

  We went to visit my parents....after visiting with them, we got in the car and Abby told us she had a horrible headache and felt sick to her stomach....... so we headed home...fast, before the upset stomach set in....got her home and on the couch......thankfully, she fell asleep and even though she was restless all night, she slept it off and is fine this morning.

   And that brings us to a new week......I let the kids sleep in this morning....we've got storms moving in, so we won't be doing much today....a good day to catch up on housework and maybe get some reading done.
